The Skillfull Teacher's chapter on the culture and conditions for teacher learning, "Opening Wide the Gates," summarizes briefly but brilliantly the argument that staff development is an essential component of school change. The author's challenges to the conventional wisdom are needed in an arena where practices and assumptions have gone unquestioned and unexamined for too long. This section should be required reading for all school boards, superintendents, and leaders of local staff development efforts."--
